Blanks Bucs for sixth win
Perez (6-9) picked up the win Tuesday, scattering three hits and two walks over seven scoreless innings in a 2-0 victory over the Pirates. He struck out seven.
Analysis
Matched up against Paul Skenes, Perez rose to the occasion and fired 62 of 100 pitches for strikes while preventing Pittsburgh from even getting a runner into scoring position. The win was Perez's first since July 5, but he hasn't been pitching poorly -- during that five-start stretch, the 23-year-old delivered a 3.00 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 32:10 K:BB over 30 innings despite winding up with an 0-3 record. He'll look to keep rolling in his next outing, which lines up to come on the road this weekend in Cincinnati.

Mixed bag in ninth loss
Perez (5-9) took the loss Wednesday against Atlanta, allowing four runs on seven hits and two walks in five innings. He struck out nine.
Analysis
Most of the damage came during the second inning, when Atlanta plated three runs, but Perez was dominant at times Wednesday. The hard-throwing right-hander generated 18 whiffs on the way to matching a season high in strikeouts, and he's now posted a 2.30 ERA and 0.96 WHIP to go with a 49:14 K:BB over his last eight starts (47 innings) since returning from the injured list. Perez will take a 3.61 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 121:42 K:BB across 109.2 frames overall into his next scheduled outing against Pittsburgh.
